It was a unique view into the past of the Colosseum. Our guide was super helpful and gave photo tips
Thank you for your kind review 😊 We’re so happy to hear you enjoyed the unique perspective of the Colosseum and that your guide made the experience even better with helpful insights and photo tips. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again soon!
We loved it and it is great as before visiting the Colosseum. Very good organization, very friendly guide.
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found it to be a great introduction before visiting the Colosseum. We put a lot of care into keeping everything well organized and working with friendly, passionate guides, so it truly means a lot to know this stood out to you. We hope to welcome you again soon to discover even more of Rome’s history together!
It's not an entrance ticket to the Coliseum, just an eimersais experience with the glasses in front of the monument. Very interesting. But when I bought I found that came along with the ticket to the entrance. Should be more explained.
Obrigado pelo seu feedback e por ter partilhado a sua experiência. Ficamos felizes em saber que achou a experiência de imersão com os óculos interessante. Gostaríamos de esclarecer que esta atividade consiste exclusivamente numa experiência de realidade virtual realizada em frente ao monumento e não inclui o ingresso para a entrada no Coliseu, conforme indicado na descrição do produto. Ainda assim, agradecemos a sua observação: o seu comentário é muito útil e será levado em consideração para tornar a explicação ainda mais clara para futuros visitantes. Esperamos recebê-lo novamente em Roma para outra experiência conosco. Ancient and Recent
It was okay overall. The graphics weren’t what I used to see with another VR in Milan Duomo, and there was a lot of flickering on the screen. However, the story and description were interesting.
Thank you for your honest feedback. We’re glad to hear you found the story and descriptions interesting, but we’re sorry the visual quality didn’t meet your expectations and that you experienced flickering. That’s not the experience we want to deliver, so your note is really helpful. If you’re open to it, please reach out to us with the date/time of your visit (and which headset you used, if you know it) so we can check the device and make sure this doesn’t happen again. Thanks again for visiting, and we hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back for an improved experience.
We booked tickets for the colosseum in Rome which were cancelled the day before. The reason given was: Why? Unfortunately, your activity provider Ancient and Recent can no longer provide Rome: Colosseum WORLD Tour with AI Guide App & Arena Option on October 26, 2025 at Rome, Italy. They've informed us that this activity cannot be offered due to a blackout in your destination. This is actually a total lie as there are no planned blackouts. Given how late “Ancient and Recent” cancelled our tour it left us no way of booking an alternative as there is no availability. It seems they never had tickets and are clearly over selling. My recommendation would be to book directly with the colosseum and not use Get Your Guide or Ancient and Recent.
Dear Client, We’re truly sorry to hear about your disappointment and that your tour was cancelled at short notice. Please know that our team always strives to deliver the best possible experience for all our guests, and cancellations are only made when circumstances genuinely prevent us from operating as planned. In this instance, the cancellation was due to an unexpected operational restriction at the Colosseum beyond our control sometimes referred to as a “blackout” when access to specific areas or time slots is suddenly revoked by the site authorities. We understand how frustrating this can be and sincerely regret the inconvenience caused. We never intentionally oversell or withhold tickets; our tours depend on official availability provided directly by the Colosseum management. When such changes occur last-minute, we inform our guests as quickly as possible and work with our booking partners, such as GetYourGuide, to ensure a full refund or help reschedule if possible. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the experience you originally hoped for. Warm regards, Ancient & Recent
Great for kids to learn about the colosseum before visiting inside! We didn’t get to do this at the colosseum because there were fears it would rain, so it ended up being a bit different to what we expected but it was ok!
Nice experience to discover the colisee otherwise. This.includes colisee and forum tickets and palatial. Good family. The person who received us was very smiling and very nice
All right. Recommended 100% to everyone!!! I have seen Colosseum like 2000 years ago, I seem to have traveled to the past!!
¡Muchísimas gracias! Me alegra de corazón saber que lo disfrutaste tanto. Ha sido un placer tenerte como invitada. ¡Y qué bonito lo que dices! Si sentiste que viajaste al pasado… entonces la magia del Coliseo hizo su efecto. 😊 ¡Un abrazo fuerte y gracias por tu energía tan positiva!
Highly recommended VR experience. We did some other VR in Rome that wasn't great, but this one was great. It transports you back to that time. Highly recommended.
It was only my second time using Virtual Reality. I really enjoyed seeing what the Colloseum looked like originally. I was able to tour it as it was years ago. I thought it was fun and educational.
Dear Customer, Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your experience with the Virtual Reality tour of the Colosseum. It’s wonderful that even though it was only your second time using VR, you found it both fun and educational — that’s exactly what we hope to offer: an engaging and immersive way to step back in time and truly understand the history of this incredible monument. We hope to welcome you again soon for another journey into the past! Best regards, Ancient and recent
